Mzolis Gugulethu Cape Town

According to Wikipedia: “The establishment opened in early 2003.[7] Owner Mzoli Ngcawuzele obtained start-up funding from the Development Bank of South Africa, which supports black-owned businesses.[8] In October 2006, an economic study said that Mzoli had “moved, from selling meat informally from a garage, to owning one of the most popular hangouts in Cape Town”. In November 2006, more than 30 restaurant patrons, including a group of tourists and Democratic Alliance councillor Masizole Mnqasela, were arrested in a police raid for drinking in public. The restaurant did not sell alcohol, but Ngcawuzele explained that he could not stop people from bringing their own.[3][10] The incident generated controversy in the local press. Tour operator Ryan Hunt claimed that police swore at the patrons and threatened people for asking questions. “The police created a dangerous situation. People are always encouraged to visit township attractions, but now they are turned away with that kind of situation,” he said.[11] Mnqasela, a member of Cape Town’s economic development committee, added, “Mzoli’s is internationally acclaimed and is key to township tourism. What kind of message is the police sending?”[10] The African National Congress approved the police actions, citing a need to curtail public drunkenness”
